EPIGRAPH: After the death of his mother, he had spent five years in the house of his brother. It was not from what he said but from the way he said it that his enormous animosity toward the domineering, cold, and unfriendly nature of his brother became evident.
Then, in short, not very pregnant sentences, he related that he had a friend now who very much loved and admired him. Following this communication, there was a prolonged silence. A few days later he reported a dream: he saw himself in a strange city with his friend, except that the face of his friend was different.

EPIGRAPH: He goes off whistling, loving the weather.
Photons beat on his broad chest,
neutrinos penetrate black leather and swamp his toenails.
There is a secret to life, but he hasn't delievered it yet.
